These opinions are obviously not ridiculous. You can sit there and justify the cost all you want, and you're right. Is $299 a fair price for the technology in the Switch? Probably. But that's the not the problem. The problem is that people don't see that value in that technology. The switch is portable? Awesome. Are people willing to pay for that feature? The switch has "HD rumble"? Great. Are people willing to pay for that feature? Millions of people aren't, and millions of people would rather a console that's missing either of those features that would be cheaper, or missing those features and comes with Zelda for the same price.
See people ask themselves questions like "do I want a semi-portable console with expensive accessories, or do I want to buy a PS4 that's cheaper, comes with a great game, has cheaper accessories, has a huge library, and will be getting all of the great games not made by Nintendo, and probably won't be coming to the Switch?" Sorry, but you're going to have to come to terms with people asking themselves that, and deciding that the Nintendo Switch isn't worth it. The Switch could cost Nintendo $298 to build, ship, and sell to the consumer, and that still not be worth the price in a prospective buyer's eyes.
